		<title>Start a business now? You must be mad!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Start a business now? In a recession? You must be mad! Well that is what some people think but I don&#8217;t agree. In fact this could be the very best time to start up. Ok so maybe your customers have less money to spend but costs are lower too. Start small now and let it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is there an &#8220;Optimism&#8221; gene?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How much are moods and attitudes influenced by upbringing and experiences, the classic &#8216;nurture&#8217; half of the &#8216;Nature/Nurture&#8221; dichotomy and the basis of theories of inter-personal psychology and &#8220;Personal Growth&#8221;? Could it be that they are  also  influenced by a genetic disposition to optimism or pessimism? First we should look at how this could occur. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Drying Firewood</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When wood is cut it contains a lot of moisture. When the wood is burned, the moisture turns into tars which stick to the inside of the chimney and can catch fire.  And if it has been cut during the growing season instead of during the winter then it will be full of sap as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Water salt + electricity = powerful safe disinfectant</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Passing an electric current through a simple salt solution produces a powerful disinfectant. It has been used for years in many countries and is now being commercialised in the US. Amazingly enough, although it will kill e.coli and salmonella as well as many other nasty bugs, it is safe to drink and people using it [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;&#8230; and the bells were ringing out for Xmas day&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The lyrics to &#8220;Fairy Tale of New York&#8221; are only half the story of this song. What comes across most strongly in the lyrics are the elements of despair, bitterness and frustrated rage and some people never see beyond that. My partner for example cannot stand the song, she just finds it depressing &#8211; maybe [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;And the boys of the NYPD choir were singing &#8216;Galway Bay&#8217;&#8230;&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Shane McGowan is an extraordinary song writer. Some Xmas songs are about happiness, some are cynical, some are calls to think of the past and the future but I cannot think of anyone else who could write a song like &#8216;Fairy Tale of New York&#8217; with its immense range of emotions &#8211; lost dreams, bitterness [...]]]></description>

		<title>Norwich Healing Centre web pages</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Completed first version of the Norwich Healing Centre website. Very plain, old-school look, hopefully clear and simple information. It must be at least five years since I did any web-authoring so it all took a long time to get back to speed even with simple mark-up and basic CSS. Plenty of room for development in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nick Drake and The Black Dog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nick Drake wrote about a black-eyed dog calling for him. His words are so simple and so powerful that I can very rarely listen to the song. For anyone who has been there, they are too real. Winston Churchill called it &#8216;the Black Dog&#8217; and sought refuge in brandy and cocaine like many before him. [...]]]></description>
